Pat Stacy is a soft-spoken man (he has no Instagram or Facebook) but since actions speak louder than words, he’s often screaming. Mentored by legendary SURFING photo editor Larry “Flame” Moore, Pat has gone on to be a staple in the water at heavy-water waves like Off-The-Wall, Pipeline and Teahupo’o. “I pretty much just try and convey the beauty, danger and fun that I see in the water,” Pat explains. As for what excites him about surf photography today, he says, “I love that there is a home for everything. Different kinds of magazines and everything on the Internet. You can spend hours on Instagram and the Internet or you can be a little more particular about where you go to find inspiration.”
